How does it feel to age together with your partner in life?

And what if you had a preview of that ageing process?

That was what a couple was put through, by make-up artists, as part of an experiment a month ago by The Cut website in its latest instalment of its video series, “100 Years of Beauty: Aging.”

The twenty-something pair of Tavis and Kristie were aged 70 years by makeup artists with the use of prosthetics.

The couple were then revealed to each other.

They were shown how they would look at age 50, 70, and 90 after each make-up session.

The pair was calm in the beginning, bantering about how they were getting married soon and how they felt no anxiety about it.

“We are excited to able to show this to our kids; our family,’ Kristie says, before they begin the physical transformation.

The couple’s reaction will bring a tear to your eyes – and will also perhaps make the way you look at, and cherish, your partner.

One of the most poignant moments was when the two were transformed to their 70s.

As Kristie ponders on how they would look, she tears.

Tavis says, “I can’t help but think about what the last 50 years were. To see her look like this makes me think, where have we gone what would have happened in between.”

Kristie says: “We’ll have kids, grandkids, so many stories…”

Tavis continues her sentence, “And we’ll be forgetting things.’

When the couple is transformed into their 90s, they are asked: “What would be the last words you would say to each other?”

Kristie, now in tears, looks at her fiance and says: “How much I loved him.”

Tavis says: “She made me a better person. There’s so many things I couldn’t be without you and I’ll never be without you.”

Kristie adds: There’s some strange comforting feeling seeing him this way. I couldn’t be more sure that this is what I want.”

How would you feel if you could see, in a matter of hours, how your loved one ages 60 years before your very eyes?

Here’s the video (which has been viewed more than 6.5m times so far) and, as Cut advised, don’t tear up as you watch them fall in love again and again.

国大采纳检讨委会建议 未来严重性犯罪者或立即开除

国大采纳检讨委员会提出的十项建议,加重处置措施,其中针对严重罪行者立即开除。 国大校董会董事郭运光,今早以委员会主席发出电邮给学生、教师以及教职人员,透露最新调查结果,表示委员会针对犯罪行为探讨研究国际最佳范例、向各个学生、教职人员进行15个一对一的对话以及委聘独立调查机构向全校师生进行网络调查,最终制定出更完善的新处置框架。 处置框架含将在送往实习公司或聘雇公司的成绩单上注明停学记录;而记录将在毕业后延续一段时间;停学至少一年以上,同时将以“犯下严重罪行”为由,禁止进入校内及不允许与受害者接触;罪行严重者将会被开除。 另外,犯罪者需经医疗专业者或辅导者的检定,才能重返校园,每一名犯罪者都需配一名个案负责官员全程监督过程,并在康复治疗提供支持。 而针对受害者的支持系统,调查委员会提议国大应加强相关资源介入,建立受害者关怀中心,聘雇辅导、社工、心里相关的专业人士及时提供受害者紧迫的需求;加强受害者支持网络,在同侪、宿舍、学院、学系之间建立支持网络系统,及时提供相关讯息、建议。 此外,委会认为近年来性犯罪案件层出不穷,故呼吁国大需提升校园安全性如加强校内的淋浴间的保护措施,也增加了宿舍的保安人员人数,而在全校宿舍洗澡间内也会安装新的洗澡间锁扣,同时至少安装300架新的监视录像。 国大董事会表示全面接受调查委员会提供的意见,而国大校长陈永财教授下来将在未来重新审视委员会提出的意见,并公布落实上述建议的具体计划。为了确保有关框架的有效性,国大也会两年后重新检讨,确保框架合适性。 国大校长陈永财教授下来几天内会公布落实上述建议的具体计划。国大董事会两年后也会重新检讨纪律框架,确保有关框架有效且合时宜。 4月18日,受害者马芸在Instagram分享了她对国大没有对于去年11月,在尤索夫宿舍厕所偷拍她的Nicholas Lim给予更多处罚,感到沮丧。此事很快在国大学生和社会界中引起热烈议论,认为涉事者未获得应有的处罚,而没给予受害者足够的保护。 国大校长陈永财教授随后向国大校友发函道歉,坦言没有第一时间为受害者提供足够协助,而教育部长王乙康则表示有关的处罚“明显不足”。 也有国大学生群组公开,国大三年内有超过20起涉及非礼、偷拍等违规行为;国大也在4月25日,于校内举办与学生对话会,逾700学生挤爆现场,其中包含多名受害者出面叙述及抨击国大在不当性行为处置上过轻,要求重新调整处分制度。同时,国大校方成立检讨委员会检讨惩处框架。
